Happy 2019!

Happy New Year! After a night full of singing and dancing, food and fireworks, we're ready to kick the New Year off with some turns on fresh snow. 2019 said hello by dropping off 3 inches to celebrate! We can expect some warmer temps today with some AM clouds lingering from the storm system as it makes its way out. The clouds should begin to part midday, making way for the sun to peek through with temperatures near the 40's.

We look forward to seeing you at beautiful Ragged Mountain! It should be another great day of skiing with some fresh snowfall to boot!

Snowmaking Has Resumed!

*UPDATE*

Both the Spear Quad and Ragged Mountain Express lifts are on wind hold. If you are planning to ski or ride today we are happy to offer a lower mountain ticket for $20, which provides access to the Barnyard Triple and both Carpets.

Snowmaking resumed last night across Ragged Peak, with the intent
to fill in a few more trails to help connect some of the dots, like Sunnyside,
Upper Crew Cut, and Pines. At the same time the team is looking to add a bit
more coverage to both Newfound Ridge and Village Green. They’ll be working hard
once again this week, so if you see a Snowmaker make sure to thank them!

2 Inches To Help Refresh!

A nice little refresh was granted to us last night by Mother
Nature, who dropped a new 2” of snow across Ragged. The temps will also drop
tonight allowing Snowmaking to pick back up and spread some more across the
lower portions of Ragged. The plan right now is to do some resurface work on Ragged Peak providing a bit more coverage to
Newfound and Village Green. They will also be working to connect the dots by finishing off Lower Chutte, and adding Pines, Sunnyside, and Upper Crew Cut. This, along with pushing out Showboat and Showoff, will certainly make for another great weekend of skiing ahead of us!

Making Snow On Cardigan!!!

Another beautiful day is ahead of us with warmer temps than yesterday and sunny skies. Make sure to get out there and enjoy all the great skiing and riding.

The team is continuing to take full advantage of the cold temps and have shifted efforts over to Spear Peak with a focus on opening Cardigan for next weekend. We’ll continue to post updates right here so keep an eye out all week long.

It's easy to look at this winter and say it's easily one of, if not the best start to a season we've seen in years. Hopefully you've been able to get out and enjoy it with us.

You can keep on enjoying this winter for less with the MISSION: FOUR'DABLE Quad Pack, which is still available for only a short time at the great price of $189.

Please note that Lower Ridge will be opening later in the morning, but will open today!

Conditions have been tremendous so far. It's easy to look at this and say it's easily one of the best, if not the best start to a season we've seen in years.

The Groomers Are Getting Things Ready

*UPDATE* Both Upper Ridge and Headwall will be open today!

The past 24hrs have seen a shift from snowmaking to grooming on Upper Ridge, Lower Ridge, Barnyard and Headwall. The groomers has been working their blades and will be dropping the tillers soon to get those trails open for some fresh turns on Saturday morning!

In the meantime, snowmaking is planning their next move to Spear Peak as temps stay favorable into next week. We’ll keep updating as the team works their magic!

For conditions right now, the snow is fast and grippy. Perfect for early season leg conditioning. Set those edges and ride them through to your next turn. Get your balance points right and be ready for the next big storm!

Speaking of edges… Just a friendly reminder that if your gear needs some love, go talk to Eddie or Kyle in the Ragged Edge Tuning and Repair shop. They can get your board or skis back in shape so you can fully enjoy this amazing start to the season. But, they can also do some pretty amazing repairs, so if you have that unfortunate stop in the woods they can help. Go stop in and say hi, they’re right down in the rental department.

More Terrain Opening This Weekend!!!

WOW!!! What a few days of cold means here at Ragged is tons of great production from the Snowmaking team. They’ve been at it around the clock since Monday night and the piles are really starting to build across Ragged Peak and in the Barnyard area.

This team is a group of unsung early season heroes. If you see one, throw them a thank you, give them a high five, and let them know how much their hard work means to you.

This weekend it looks like we will be skiing and riding on Upper Ridge, Headwall, Lower Chute, and Barnyard because of this team’s hard work.

Snowmaking is Cranking!

Snowmaking has been
driving hard the past couple of nights with these cold temps and production is
looking good! If you’re out skiing or riding and see one of the snowmakers, stop and
say thanks!

The cold temps are
helping us see through to the goal of adding more terrain this weekend. We hope
to add Lower Ridge, Upper Ridge, Headwall, and Barnyard this weekend, providing more terrain
for all guests!

As a friendly reminder,
please remember that if you purchased a season pass and have yet to pick it up,
pick up is now in the new Guest Service’s building. It’s the grey building in
between the Meeting House and Elmwood Lodges. You will see a big orange awning
that says Guest Services on it! Please also remember that there is a one-time
$5 RFID card fee. Learn more about RFID HERE.

Cold Temps Are Back

And that means that the snowmakers are out there earning their keep! With last nights shift in temperature the snowmaking system roared back to life with a focus to increase man-made coverage by this weekend. Currently the goal is to see Lower Ridge, Upper Ridge, Headwall, and Barnyard open providing more terrain for all guests!

This new cold front came with a price though as the warm temps melted some of our natural snow pack. Patrol has closed all natural terrain due to the freeze thaw cycle it saw in the past 24 hours.

If you were joined us this past weekend, we hope you made your way into the Stone Hearth Bar were we've increased some of our great food and beer offerings. If not, go grab lunch and try one of the tasty flat breads in Stone Hearth. Try the Snowmaker (in honor of the cold temps and hard work being done!) and pair it with a Ragged Red from the Flying Goose Brewery... So Good!

Monday, Monday - a 'Spring Like' Day!

Yesterday’s mixed precipitation had less of an impact on conditions
than we anticipated allowing us to maintain the same trail count as we started
with of 28 trails. With today’s forecast of sunny skies and warmer temps, it
will be a beautiful day for getting a few runs in!

As the temperature begins to drop towards the end of today, our
mountain operations team will be firing back up the guns with the goal of
increased terrain open for this coming weekend. Keep an eye on the SLOPE REPORT for
the most up to date info.

A
few helpful notes on what to expect with conditions:

-
We're looking at all ungroomed terrain having anywhere from 1 foot to over 3
feet of natural snow. This means that all ungroomed terrain can have thin
spots, may have exposed water bars, and are best suited to expert skiers and
riders. Please use your best judgement when entering an
ungroomed trail, even though it may be a Blue Square, it will still pose a
higher difficulty today due to conditions.

-
Expert skiers and riders, Pels and Sweepstakes are amazing. There is a bunch of
snow up top, but as you drop down in the lower sections be aware of some open
spots, which may be hidden, and exposed water bars.

-
Novice skiers and riders, we are starting with top to bottom groomed terrain
for you! Blueberry Patch to Upper Chute to Main Street will be open and groomed
and is the easiest way down!

-
Intermediate skiers and riders, both Raggae Glades and Moose Alley will be open
for those who want to explore the trees on opening day, but want to keep the
thrill level within their skill base. It looks great in there, but still please
exercise caution with thin cover in areas.

We are very excited to be able to
open this much terrain this early in the season, and just ask that you take a
steady and cautious approach. Remember to get your skiing and snowboarding legs
back, it is still early season.

Mother Nature Is Mixing It Up...

Mother Nature seems to have caught up with herself finally and has decided to change things up a bit. It’s been a blast having all the natural snow in the woods and on some of the ungroomed terrain, but a little bit of mixed precipitation will help to solidify our base, making for what is one of the best early seasons in a long time!

Today’s mixed precipitation might bring with it a few changes to our conditions, so please be aware of any closures. Always check our SLOPE REPORT for the most up to date info.

A few helpful notes on what to expect with conditions:

- We're looking at all ungroomed terrain having anywhere from 1 foot to over 3 feet of natural snow. This means that all ungroomed terrain can have thin spots, may have exposed water bars, and are best suited to expert skiers and riders. Please use your best judgement when entering an ungroomed trail, even though it may be a Blue Square, it will still pose a higher difficulty today due to conditions.

Well, if you missed opening day, do not fret. Today is going to be just as amazing, if not more. Patrol and Mountain Ops are going forward with our 28 trails that we had open at the end of the day on Friday. And we can attest to the fact that there is a bunch of snow in them woods!

GREAT NEWS! We're opening this Friday!

So on this holiday weekend, we're saying THANK YOU to all the Snowmakers and the Mountain Ops team at Ragged. Hope to see you on opening day! First chair is at 10am, Friday, November 30th.

Fall Work Around The Mountain

It’s time for one more installment of “What do you guys do
all summer”!

The work around the base area and on lifts has kicked up
quite a few notches over the past few weeks. From the work being done to
convert the old Discovery Center into our new Guest Services to replacing the
wheels on some of lift towers, the Ops team has been quite busy. Check out some
of the action from earlier this week as the team installs new Ticket Windows on
the Guest Services building, digs a trench for the conduit needed for the Axess
RFID Gates, and installs new wheels on the Barnyard Triple.

Tuesday, September 04, 2018

How We're Working to Improve Your Experience!

Work has
begun on building a new Guest Services area in what was known as the Discovery
Center. Ticketing, season pass pick-up and general information will all move to
the new space better suited to making your experience easier and faster. But,
that’s not the only way we’re going to improve tickets and season passes.

The best
part for you is Ragged Mountain's new partnership established with Team Axess,
a leading manufacturer of ticketing and access management systems based in
Austria. Axess currently has roughly 18,000 gates installed worldwide with more
than 106 million active RFID cards. Their most notable ski resort installations
include Killington, Sugarbush, Alta, and Snowbird, plus our neighbors Gunstock
and Mount Sunapee. This partnership with Axess will allow us to more
effectively serve you by providing you with a unique, reloadable RFID card
granting you access to any lift without the need to stop by Guest Services once
you've picked up your card.

Once
you've picked up your $5, unique RFID card at Guest Services you can then
reload it with everything from a Mission: Affordable season pass, to day
tickets, and the new 4 hour flex ticket! It’s all about speeding up the process
of getting you from your car to the lift as fast as possible.

Summer Time Maintenance Continues

In another installment of “What do you guys do all summer”!

These past few weeks have been quite active here with work on
the lifts. As we’ve previously mentioned each lift has 20% of the chairs
removed for the grips to be serviced and rebuilt. Well part of that process
includes a NDT or Nondestructive Testing process. This process, which was
conducted by Aerial NDT out of Milton, NH, looks for failure points not visible
to the human eye in the materials used on the lift. Using ultraviolet lights, magnets,
magnaflux solutions, and ultrasounds, the team is able to find any cracks or
stress points that could cause a failure. If these are found, the part is
placed into retirement and a new part takes its place.

The following photos show the process in practice here at
Ragged. Fortunately, no parts were found to have any failures or stresses and
we passed our NDT with flying colors. There is a photo of a cracked axle that Aerial NDT brought with them to show
how the ultraviolet light and magnaflux solution works to highlight parts that would need to be replaced. There are also a few
photos of our lift parts in the wet magnaflux bath, ultrasound testing, and
using a high powered, hand-held magnet and dry magnaflux powder.

Terry Gregg - Champion for Children!

Congratulations to Terry Gregg, Learning Center Director here
at Ragged Mountain Resort, for being nominated by and awarded the 2018 Champion
for Children Award by the Newfound School District. His recognition is a testament
to his drive and passion for teaching today’s youth the fundamentals of skiing
and snowboarding. His passion for fun is on display each and every day of the
week when he and his team of instructors welcome children from multiple
different school districts to Ragged. Skiing and Snowboarding for Terry is more
than just sliding on snow, it’s a way of life and a chance to smile, laugh, and
enjoy the outdoors, something he exemplifies while teaching children.

The Champion for Children Award was established by the New
Hampshire School Administrator's Association. It is intended to recognize New
Hampshire citizens who have given distinguished public service to benefit
children. You can learn more about the Champion for Children Award
and the 2018 state recipients HERE.

Summer Time Maintenance

Summer maintenance continues around the mountain. This week
the Lift Maintenance crew is busy working on replacing the bearings and shaft on
the return bullwheel located at the top terminal of the Barnyard lift.

Bebe Wood, the 2018 Ski NH Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient

As she sat, enjoying her Tuckerman’s Pale Ale, Bebe Wood had
little clue as to why she was asked to attend the annual Ski New Hampshire
conference. But to her surprise she was there to be honored with this year’s
Lifetime Achievement Award. Her surprise was shared by all as her loud gasp, upon
learning that she was this year’s recipient, was followed by cheers of a crowd
who in some way, shape, or form, had all been touched by Bebe and her
dedication to sharing our wonderful sport with as many people as possible.

As Ryan Schramm explained in his presentation of the award “Bebe
is a true Ski Bum”, having spent her entire life enjoying the sport. Growing up
in Marblehead, MA, Bebe and her siblings taught themselves how to ski at a
nearby golf course. By the late 30’s she and her sister were making trips to
Cranmore, NH and within the next decade Bebe would become a pioneer of the
growing counter culture of the “ski bum”. In 1950 Bebe, living in Sun Valley,
Idaho was featured as one of the models for a skiing article that ran in a
February issue of Life Magazine.

In the early 60’s she and her husband moved to Bristol, NH
where they introduced their children to the joys of skiing. In 1965, when
Ragged Mountain Resort opened, Bebe was a natural fit as the Director of the
Junior Program designed to introduce local school children to the sport. Bebe
served as the head of the Courtesy Patrol through the new millennium until her
retirement. Today she is still an active member of the Ragged Mountain Resort
community as a host on the weekends. Skiers and Riders from all ages and all
areas are greeted warmly with a smile and sometimes a hug as they enter the
Elmwood Lodge.

A wealth of knowledge both of the mountain and of the
industry, Bebe enjoys her role as the mountain’s ambassador of the newly formed
Bebe Wood Free Learn to Ski & Ride Program. Named in her honor as a
testament to her desire to introduce new folks to this wonderful sport, the
Bebe Wood Program has introduced over 2000 people to skiing and riding,
completely free of charge, in its first two years of operation.

We are so happy to congratulate Bebe on her award, and
couldn’t think of a more fitting person to be recognized as the 2018 Ski NH
Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient.

Thanks to Joan Wallen and SeniorsSkiing.com for the use of
information contained within this overview.

Weekly Update, Cleaning Up The Rails

The off season is in full effect around here and we're attending to some essential upkeep around the resort. Here is Bryan Harper, Manager of the Ragged Mountain Parks with an update for you. Make sure you subscribe to our YouTube Channel to stay up to date on all that is happening around the resort!

So… What Do You Guys Do During The Summer?

This is a pretty common question we get asked each year, and
while there is a lot less activity at the ski area during the summer months,
there is still quite a lot that happens.

Catered Events:
From weddings to reunions to anniversary parties, we host all kinds of formal
catered events. Our team from the winter time shifts focus from group sales and
everyday food and beverage service to high level catered events that range from
lobster bakes and pig roasts, to 5 course meals. With three different wedding
sites, including the summit of Ragged Peak which overlooks the White Mountains
and Cardigan Mountain, and our on-site lodging, we host several weekend long
Wedding Parties.

Training: The off season is when our year round teams work to ensure we are all trained to handle any kind of issue that might arise. Just this past week we welcomed our good friend Peter Koch, from Memic, a work place safety company we partner with, to work on various rigings and safety techniques when evacuating a staff member from a lift tower.

Events: Hosting
events is just one more thing we do over the course of the summer. This year we
are very excited to play host to the 2018 USATF 50K Trail National
Championships with the good folks from 603 Endurance. The Ragged 75 Stage Race
and 50K takes runners up and over the SRKG (Sunapee, Ragged, Kearsarge
Greenway) Trail. Starting August 10th, Runners choose from either a
3 day stage race along the entire 75 mile look, or a 50K on Sunday August 12th.
Upon completion, a big party is held right here at the base of Ragged Mountain
Resort.

Help Us Fight Cancer!

Cancer Sucks.

As most people can attest, that statement rings true all too
often. Our team here at Ragged has made it a point to help out with those who
are struggling with this horrible disease by supporting the Pedaling for Payson
event in Hopkinton, NH on September 15th.

Pedaling for Payson is a bicycle ride (both road and
mountain) that raises funds for the Payson Cancer Center at the Concord
Hospital. Funds raised go to support the Pedaling for Hope
Endowment Fund. This fund largely underwrites the Center's Nurse Navigator
Program, which serves to coordinate both the medical treatment and community
outreach for the most vulnerable cancer patients.

We would like to extend an invitation to all of
our season pass holders and guests to join the Ragged Mountain team this year.
Raise money and ride with us as we look to support those dealing with cancer. Register
HERE.

PLUS, join us on June 7th for a pre-ride
event at the Red River Theater in Concord, NH. This event supports the Pedaling
For Payson Ride with a screening of ‘Reveal the Path’, a genre-defying
adventure film that contemplates what it means to live an inspired life using
the bicycle as a mechanism to explore, dream and discover. Tickets are $10 and
include the film, beer tasting from New Hampshire Distributors and Lithermans
Limited Brewery, tasty treats from Vibes Gourmet Burgers and O Steaks &
Seafood, trivia contests and door prizes.

Happy Easter, & Thanks For A Great Season!

Well, we've come to the end of another great season. We've shared some great skiing and snowboarding this winter, we've also seen some amazingly cold temps and absurdly warm temps (70 degrees in Feb... come on). We've had major storms that dropped tons of snow and opened up our best terrain. We had great events like yesterday's Pond Skim (thanks to everyone who came out). Great races hosted by the RMST, and great park events from our Terrain Parks Crew. There was good food and some really fun Tap Takeovers in the Stone Hearth. But most importantly, we want to thank you for joining us this season and helping to make Ragged Mountain one of the most enjoyable places to be. It's because of you that our community is so strong. And finally, congrats to all the Bebe Wood Graduates; welcome to our family!

Today looks to be the perfect ending for the 2017/18 season. Temps will be in the high 40's and it will be mostly sunny. As it is Easter, the Ski Patrol lent a hand to our friend the Easter Bunny and have hidden eggs around the ski area. Make sure while you are out on the mountain today you keep an eye out for eggs filled with sweet treats. Happy Easter everyone.

One final reminder that today is the last day to purchase your 2018/19 MISSION: AFFORDABLE Season Pass at only $259. Tomorrow the price increases to $289.

Winding Down, but There's Still Plenty Left

Today looks to be a little bit more cloudy than yesterday, with temps remaining in the high 40's to low 50's. Conditions all around the mountain are holding up just fine with soft, spring like snow. And while things at the mountain are starting to wind down towards the inevitable end of the season, there is still one last bang of a weekend ahead of us! Remember to pick up your MISSION: AFFORDABLE Season Pass before the end of Sunday, when the price will increase from $259 to $289.
